WMGI appoints mayor to executive committee, advisory board

The Executive Committee of the West Michigan Global Initiative has announced the appointment of Holland Mayor Kurt Dykstra to the WMGI Executive Committee and Advisory Board.

Dykstra is an attorney at Warner Norcross & Judd LLP in Holland. He and his wife, Leah, were instrumental members of a WMGI-led delegation that traveled to the Netherlands on an investment mission in 2013, according to a news release.

The WMGI facilitates significant and long-term business, civic and cultural relationships between the West Michigan region and the Netherlands, building on the longstanding cultural ties between the two communities. This fall, the group says it will host key Dutch business, cultural and government officials for an investment and cultural trade mission in West Michigan.
